California is getting walloped by out-of-control wildfires.
Over the weekend, one of the many ongoing fires - the Mendocino Complex Fire - almost doubled in size. Firefighters have 30% of the blaze contained, officials told The Los Angeles Times on Monday.
The fire increased as dry winds and triple-digit weather combined two smaller blazes, the Ranch Fire and the River Fire.
It's now on track to become the largest in the state's history, according to The LA Times.
The Mendocino fire has spurred evacuations in Lake County, though no one has been injured in the blaze so far.
That's on top of 17 other fires that firefighters are battling throughout California, including the Carr Fire, which hit the city of Redding and has claimed seven victims so far.
President Donald Trump declared a state of emergency in California to help assist with battling the fires.
"Battling these relentless fires requires a Herculean effort," California Governor Jerry Brown wrote in a letter to Trump.
